What I liked about it was the OEM look to it:
It takes the air feed from the usual place and from behind the headlight similar to the twintake in that fashion.

This is epic I really want one of these but don't know about how to order? Us ebay? Surely even with import tax wouldn't cost as much as a twintake?

Pretty sure that picture is of my old ED30 fitted with the Volant "Powercore" Intake, I bought it from a parts dealer in USA (WCP Diesel) and had it shipped to a mate in (Texas) USA (Shipped free from dealer to my mate) who forwarded it to me (Cost around £40 in shipping from memory), I bought it because no one else had one and I liked the look of it, I did not like the look of the ITG (Blue Peter toilet roll and grannies clunge sponge) and the Twintake was a bit bling for me!, I think Scotty may have bought it from me in January?.
I did a sort of review, link below, with shipping and VAT (if your unlucky enough to pay it), I doubt you will pay more than £210 for one, think it cost me £198 shipped (plus K04 Take off pipe £23), fitting around 30 mins.

Scottymon:
It is yours mate, my engine bay is dirty in comparison, so stole your pic :happy2:
It works out a lot more expensive when you have to pay taxes, think mine came to ~£250... which was more than I wanted to pay tbh... but at least it's different and as said, I like the OEM look.
Simon_2.0t:
I really like the look of the above set up, any chance of a video?
Any links to where can buy?
Si
Scottymon:
It's much quieter than an open air, infact when driven normally you'd barely notice it:
Volant Powercore
Compared to a Neuspeed P-Flo:
Neither video is mine.
IF you want the noise all the time, then go for an open cone, otherwise a closed system will suit you better.

Has anyone had any ex with the Pipercross filter that connects to the original engine cover?
